Tour de France 2018 **SPOILERS**

[Crackle]

Looks like Mollema, Zakarin and Jungels don't have it this year, everyone else, barring Uran, up there in the main GC group.

Alaphilippe fantastique tour

 

[Pro Tour Punditry]

He's not a climber; he'll lose the yellow jersey on Tuesday with the first Alpine stage, and be doing well if he's in the top 50 coming out of the Alps.

Or not. That was some ride by GVA. Amazing stuff.

Amazing really , they are the iron Men , day after day , stage 11, no easy feat by the look of it ,!
GT doing xlnt to hold in there , also Froome and Yates steadily moving up the ladder , It is as if Yates has got a Star Trek style tractor beam connected to Froom ,, he’s never that far away ,
Big climbing day tom’w , be interesting ,,

In many ways, Geraint Thomas is the Raheem Sterling of pro cycling.

He's completed a few more passes, though.

Following up on earlier comments about Romain Bardet being a bit crafty, what do we make of this? Apparently he rode 11km less than Michal Kwiatkowski today...

(It's actually very easily explained, which I shall leave as an exercise for the reader to work out.)

Does it involve Gallic collusion and TV censorship?

I’m saying nothing!

Don’t be silly. He clearly cheated. No other explanation will suffice.
